iNQ iNQ1 - User Reviews

  • This phone is obviously not a feature phone because you can use Skype and Facebook ....... but is it a smartphone ?? It lacks everything that makes a smartphone such as multi touch touchscreen ...... web browser etc etc Kinda in the similar catalog as lg prada phone

  • Well I think you should sell the phone on eBay while you still can...... not sure if anyone will buy it though as the phone is virtually useless with no apps and not support by any type of phone cards

  • Hi. How do i get the inQ phone Battery in Kenya?

  • is this phone anygood ? the reason for asking i have saw it on cex online at a cheap price .

  • Not an ideal phone, I had this phone when it first came out and I didn't last 3 months with it. I replaced it with a Nokia E63. It didn't become faulty or anything, the phone isn't a good experience and for the price you pay, I would recommend any other phone. The only great feature about this phone is the camera at 3.2. MPix. Additionally being on 3 UK, you get other features such as free MSN, eBay, and Skype (but those are everything the network provides, not the phone).

  • Hi Very bad phone

  • Ok, so you throw this Junk out of the Windows, if you cant Drive a Ferrari Properly would you throw that Out of the Window Too?

  • Fantastic Piece of Kit, Free Skype Call, Without Credit, Free Ebay, & If i want these on my Iphone i have to Pay £35 a Month.

  • My phone battery is broken, I went to the market to buy a new one but couldn't find it. Can anyone help me where I can find its battery in Pakistan? By the way, the phone is awesome, I like its music player the most. The signal reception is quite weak as compared to nokia and other phones.

  • The inq1 phone number1 the all in phone.this service is very smooth n very colour full . Every man is choice the phone.i like it inq1 its my phone inq1.

  • Best phone I've had,(& there's been a lot until now) totally love it. It does everything well and looks good too. A slider with style, much better than touch screen. I can connect to e-bay, facebook etc in a slit second. A fantastic phone at a brilliant price. Only gripe, I can't get a plastic or rubber protective case for it, as they do not make them. Got a decent pouch from £ shop and am well pleased with it. If anyone has located a protective case that will fit the INQ1 I would appreciate the info. A brilliant phone.

  • Looks very smart !!!!!!!

  • I don't know people likes it or not. But Its really a awesome Mobile with all the social networking facilities. I like it very much.

  • i completely agree with my anonymous friend...before giving comment jst check dat u knw how to use da mobile....

  • can't connect to the internet.why i need the procedure

  • I Like this Phone, Its Cool, But For all those giving it bad Reviews, Learn how to Use it First before Giving it Bad Reviews.

  • nice phone...?

  • stup1d so-called smartfone..damn!

  • This phone sells 4 20 now to me who helps in a mobile shop its ok 4 the money it solid built. Its ok with call quality texing ect the browser works well. But I've put opera mini and snaptu in it both work fine. As a basic stater phone on 3 there ok. Esp with the price tag at 20. My opinion there ok 4 the 20 you pay esp if u make a lot off 3 to 3 calls and skype calls. Retuns policy is 28 days on 3 with no quible. I have Google phone but use 1 for 3 calls and skype calls I like them ;-}

  • ended up being throw out the window and smashed up, not a good phone :/

  • Just Bought One of these Mobiles, Its Great, Free Skype, Messanger, Facebook & Ebay, Without even Topping up on the 3 UK Network,3.2 Mega Pixel camera, all that under £20, Not even My £300 Iphone can do that, Unless your Paying Like £30 a month. I hav'nt Had Any Freezing or Rebooting, So its Been Reliable So far. Built Quality is Good, but could be Better. This mobile Beats all other More expensive Mobile in the Social networking Bit.

  • Their does seem to be an issue with Three when it comes to giving customers their cash back, or returning working mobiles, I have experienced that too. However, at the moment this handset is available for under 20 pounds from (if in the UK) Three. I think that INQ handsets are excellent value for cash, OK maybe not in your case, and I do feel sad for your woes. Overall, this is a fantastic phone for the cash. Good screen, although a little polarized in wide screen. But facebook, skype and WM, all updated live, integrated contacts. A decent media player and 3.2 Mp camera for under 20 quid if you live in the UK!! Bargain!

  • use a usb data cable, connect to your phone ,if it asks about drivers install drivers from cd

  • The WORST mobile I have had by far. Within a year I had to took it to repair 3 times. The 3 people were not helpful whatsoever and even when I wanted to replace it they did not do it for me. Never never get it, please. It looks fun and has lots of nice things, but they do not work. For 5 months now I haven't been able to send text messages, or take pictures, or even opening messages with a picture. I haven't bothered to take it to repair again as it does not make any difference after 2 days. Last time they had my phone for repair 3 weeks and they even did not have a replacement to give me so I had nothing to use. INQ combined with 3 customer service is the biggest disaster ever.

  • how do u upload pictures from the computer to the phone?

  • Ehmmm, it's not INQ OS, but Qualcomm's BREW platform. ;)

  • No, nowhere near. It's a INQ OS, developed my INQ.

  • Can ne one tell me... which OS platform has been used on this phone??? i heard its ANDROID.... is it true? i couldnt find it....

  • I had this phone for about 11 months and have now had it swapped. The phone can master the basics (phone calls and SMS) and web browsing but its software has been poorly designed. The Facebbok, Skype and Windows Messener Apps are clever extras but are full of glitches and the constant restarts and poor reception don't do well to contribute. The phone has started a trend of social nework integration into mobiles, but hasn't really mastered it. I think most will prefer a well built phone from Nokia, Samsung or LG and give the INQ company a little while to find out where they are going wrong.

  • yeah i liked it it was great i recomend you by it best phone eva

  • Has got useful features, camera, facebook integration, skype, web browser, google maps, email... but nothing actually works well. The camera is poor and only works in very well lit conditions, the email works, but intermittantly, the maps and web browser are so slow they are almost not worth having.

  • This is the worst phone I have ever bought and/or used. It would lock up on me when I was writing a text message. The facebook integration was fairly useless, despite me being a heavy user. The gmail app was great, but you can get that for any phone. When it comes down to it, though, this thing operates like a ten-year-old computer: Slow and unstable. Horrible, horrible phone. I've since replaced it with a Sony Ericsson T715 and I'm a much happier person because of it.

  • Very good phone this one! its been very reliable and worked perfectly ever since i bought it 6 months ago or more now. There have been complaints about software issues? well have seen nothing of the sort to be honest from my experience. One of the best things i find is the HSPDA connection. Basically you can just plug the usb computer cable in and the phone has a built in modem so you can connect to the internet on your computer through the phone! and if you have an unlimited internet plan then its free!! so you get what is effectively a dongle inclusive in the deal. The camera is pretty decent and there is a good media player on it. The only slight down side is the internal memory, meaning you can only store a limited number of photos/media, but this is easily solved by buying a memory card which can be as cheap as 4/5pounds on ebay.

  • This phone is terrible, along with the others such as 3 Skypephone S2. I purchased this phone for �70 and the only thing I liked was the camera, which was decent. I've now sold the phone, which is very difficult to do so on eBay, you'd be lucky to sell it for �50. I recommend trying Amazon, it got sold quick and I got �50 for it (mine was in black). You might want to look for other phones for your budget, or maybe try and spend that extra bit more.

  • Pretty dumb if u ask me. i flew to nz and wasn't aware i couldnt use it to keep in touch while i was away. rather dissapointing..jst good for txtn and facebook (which i dont have) but hey, it was a gift..and a sad one i add. gonna sell it.

  • Bought this as a back-up to my contract LG Renoir and have ended up using it permanently instead. The Big keypad is a joy to use (can walk and text again! unlike with a touchscreen), love having skype, IM, and Facebook embedded 'always on' - the other day I was commenting on a friends FB status walking to the rail station, had 20 minutes of IM w a friend in Singapore whilst on the train, and got skyped by by another friend from HK at lunchtime. So far I don't know any non-INQ phone that has all of these functions embedded (& I believe INQ Chat adds Twitter), and bearing in mind this model is only �70 on payg this is almost a no-brainer choice if you fancy more than calls, text, and email on your phone (and you're on the 3 network, of course).

  • A first phone for this manufacturer. It's good, solid and very light but FILLED with software glitches. Mine has just gone back because it kept rebooting. Got to the point where as soon as a call, text or delivery report came in it rebooted itself... EVERY TIME! And then if you left it be it'd get bored and reboot itself anyway. Applications are slow and it doesn't like the fact that they've crammed it full of every application under the sun, it's just too much for it to handle. Disaster waiting to happen, stick to a more solid brand.

  • this phone is 'ok' and thats being generous.. the camera is hopeless...doesnt have a flash...can store a maximum of around 2 photos before saying memory full (which means u cannot recieve text messages because of this) obviously that would change if you bought a memory card. This phone was designed for people who liked facebook and msn messenger etc..but you can get those apps on other phones with a decent camera and oodles more applications. this phone has no games built in...baisically if ure after a phone that u want purly for text and calls..then this is perfect but anything more then dont bother. source...i had one untill i got so angry i paid for an upgrade as i couldnt wait for my contract to end!!!

  • its one of 3's best selling phones. been around a while now and has sold a fair old bit. won quite a few rewards too.

  • Looks kinda like a nokia. Doubt it will be popular.

  • nice

  • i have used this fone.... and it was goood... faceboook skype and lot more..
